Influential genes: ZPR1,CYP4F2,SCARB1
ZPR1 gene encodes a protein that is believed to play a critical role in cell signaling and is important for the growth and proliferation of cells.
The protein encoded by CYP4F2 is involved in the metabolism of fatty acids and the processing of other hydrophobic molecules.
SCARB1 plays a crucial role in cholesterol homeostasis and has implications in cardiovascular health.
What is Vitamin E?
Vitamin E is one of the most important antioxidants. It helps maintain healthy skin, hair and eyesight, helps maintain a healthy immune system, promotes normal growth and development of cells and tissues, protects against certain cancers and helps lower cholesterol levels.
What happens if you don't get enough?
Vitamin E deficiency is a rare health problem that manifests as a weakened immune system, ovarian and testicular disorders that can lead to infertility, and muscle and nerve disorders.
